Xu Dao thought about this, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
He originally thought that although the war was about to begin, there would still be at least a few years left to allow him to develop more and improve his ability to save his life.
However, judging from the current situation, the situation is already critical, and there should not be much time for him to practice with peace of mind.
Xu Dao pondered and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Thanks to my last trip with Zhuang Bufan, I knew something in advance. I haven't wasted time in the past few years."
With the foundation of seclusion some time ago, coupled with the new benefits he has gained recently, Xu Dao's Xianwu Dao practice is approaching a century, and he has made the greatest preparations.
Since the war is about to break out and there is no time for retreat to practice, he should make other plans to deal with the next crisis.
Xu Dao's eyes flashed: "This battle will be between Wu Taoist priests and foreign Taoist priests, and there will definitely be Jindan Taoist priests involved. I don't want to be able to fish in troubled waters, I just want to be able to save a life."
For a time, many thoughts and strategies flashed through his mind one by one.
Calculating in his mind, Xu Dao pondered for a few times, then simply released his consciousness and revealed the suspicion in his heart to Zhuang Bufan.
He said in detail: "Brother Taoist, I feel that those demonic Taoist priests are not casual cultivators, but have other backgrounds. They are probably Taoist priests from outside Wu..."
As soon as Xu Daojiang said these words and described the appearance of the Five Seahorse Taoist Priests and others, Zhuang Bufan was immediately shocked. The green and purple flying sword he was parasitizing, the spiritual light on the sword flickered.
Zhuang Bufan asked anxiously: "Is this really true?!"
Xu Dao nodded seriously.
After receiving Xu Dao's confirmation, Zhuang Bufan's ghostly soul frowned and became silent.
The other four Taoist priests were not clear about the content of the exchange between the two, and they were all discussing aloud: "Three ghost Taoist priests, which one should we pursue?"
"Brother Dao Zhuang, fellow Daoist Xu, do you have a decision?"
The shouts of four Taoist priests interrupted their thoughts and brought them back to their senses.
Xu Dao murmured a few times, and his original suggestion of dividing his troops to hunt down the ghost Taoist priests was swallowed in his throat. Since he suspected that overseas Taoist priests had invaded in large numbers, to be on the safe side, naturally he should not divide his troops, but should gather them together.
Together.
However, Zhuang Bufan, who originally did not suggest dividing the troops, spoke up. The man's expression calmed down and he said: "Wait a minute, what Fellow Daoist Xu said is that the other three of them ran away separately without even touching each other. Their energy has weakened. I
Why not also split up and catch them all?"
Zhuang Bufan suddenly changed his words, which made the other four Taoist priests a little stunned. The four Taoist priests looked at each other. When Xu Dao heard these words, he also raised his eyebrows slightly, but he did not immediately raise a question.
Some of the four Taoist priests vaguely agreed, while others said aloud: "If it is a deception, what should we do if there are others secretly..."
However, Zhuang Bufan lightly shook his flying sword and said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, if the six of us divide our forces, we will not only be able to outnumber the enemy but also have buildings and ships to rely on."
Before the four Taoist priests could raise their doubts, Zhuang Bufan continued: "This time Xu Dao and I took the lead, each teaming up with one person, and the other two used the building boat to chase the enemy. Pindao will also completely hand over the building boat to the two of them.
Use it. In this case, do you dare to split up?"
Hearing this, the four Taoist priests were all moved.
The building ship is a magical weapon with great power. When Xu Dao failed to completely control the building ship before, he could barely defeat five enemies with it. If two Taoist priests are allowed to completely control the building ship, even if they are assassinated, these two
People should be able to save their next life.
But as a result, the four Taoist priests began to think about who to follow Xu Dao.
After all, the building ship is a powerful magic weapon, and Zhuang Bufan is a Taoist priest in the Gang Refining realm. Although Xu Dao's methods are powerful, his cultivation level is far inferior to Zhuang Bufan's, and it is only in the early stage of foundation building, which cannot give them complete safety.
feel.
Seeing that the four of them were still hesitating, Xu Dao chuckled in his heart. He guessed what these four were thinking.
He touched his eyebrows lightly, suddenly took a step forward, raised his hands to everyone and said, "Since Pindao was the first to initiate this division of troops, Pindao will naturally have to bear the risks involved."
Xu Daosaran chuckled: "Other fellow Taoists don't need to form a team with Pindao. Pindao can go and catch him alone. I just hope that Pindao can be allowed to choose the target to capture first, so that he can pick a soft persimmon."
Others were a little startled when they heard his words. They did not expect that Xu Dao would dare to act alone after knowing that someone was watching in the dark.
And Xu Dao is not daring. Not to mention that he is sure to kill a demon Taoist priest alone, and he also has a foundation-building tooth general and a square talisman to protect his body. Even if he is besieged by five demon Taoist priests again, let alone counterattack the opponent,
Xu Dao was also confident that he would drag Zhuang Bufan and others over again.
Time is running out, and the chaos is getting closer and closer. He has to take advantage of the fact that the war has not really started yet, and finally make a fortune to enrich his pocket!
Before the four Taoist priests could say anything, a sword chant sounded: "Hahaha! Since Xu Taoist friend is so brave, why does this poor Taoist need help from others? I will go away with my sword alone to kill the monsters, and the four of you will use the building boat to
To form a formation, just kill the third one."
It was Zhuang Bufan who spoke up and directly echoed Xu Dao's words.
When the other four Taoist priests heard these words, their previous worries and doubts suddenly turned into shame. Some of them opened their mouths, as if they wanted to say that it doesn't have to be this way.
However, Zhuang Bufan did not give them any more chance to speak, and immediately ordered: "A lot of thieves have already escaped, so let's go without further delay!"
Buzz! There was a burst of blue-purple light, Zhuang Bufan immediately jumped out of the building with his sword, and Xu Dao also looked at the four Taoist priests, nodded, and also jumped out.
The four Taoist priests stood on the building boat and looked at each other. However, thinking of the enemies peeping in the dark, none of the four actually stepped out of the building boat and followed Xu Dao and the other two people away. They all just bowed and shouted:
"The two Taoist friends are victorious!", "We will definitely kill the third beast!"
After Xu Dao left, they didn't pay much attention to the four Taoist priests, but hurriedly communicated with each other using their spiritual consciousness.
"Why did Brother Tao suddenly change his mind and want to risk killing those three demons?"
"If it is true as fellow Taoist said, naturally none of these three people can be spared. If one more is captured alive, the more likely they are to make great contributions to the Taoist palace!"
It turned out that Zhuang Bufan also had the intention of interrogating overseas Taoist priests, and he planned to capture the Jindan Taoist who was presented to the Taoist Palace in order to know what the plans of these overseas Taoist priests were.
Xu Dao agreed with this, but he did not reveal that he had captured overseas Taoist priests alive in his hands. Instead, he handed over his hands to show that he understood, and then they split up and rushed towards the enemy of their choice.
Whoosh!
The three streams of light, with different sizes and colors, acted separately and immediately chased the three streaks of black smoke.
Although Xu Dao and others had a lot of conversation, they all communicated through spiritual consciousness. The conversation time was not long, and the three ghost Taoist priests who scattered and fled could not take the opportunity to distance themselves much.
Not to mention the other two directions, after Xu Dao was far away from his companions, his one hundred and eighty-five-year mana was unleashed, and he caught up with his target in a short time.
The target he chose was a fish-headed Taoist priest, whose cultivation level was only in the early stage of foundation building, and he kept cursing: "Damn it!"
"How come this killer is targeting me!"
But no matter how loudly it cursed, the distance between it and Xu Dao was still shortening rapidly, and it was about to be caught up by Xu Dao and take a good blow.
And Xu Dao was also full of fighting spirit, preparing to fight quickly, behead this guy, imprison his head, and then meet up with Zhuang Bufan and others.
Zhengzheng! Phew!
There was a loud clang of swords, black smoke billowing, and a fight in the air was about to break out.
But at this moment, a pale will-o'-the-wisp suddenly appeared under the two of them, bright and then rushed towards them.
The sudden appearance of the will-o'-the-wisp not only attracted Xu Dao's attention, but also shocked the fish-headed Taoist priest who was running for his life.
What made Xu Dao's eyelids twitch slightly was that a majestic aura faintly emerged from the will-o'-the-wisp fire. Judging from its momentum, it actually belonged to the late stage of foundation building and the refining realm!
After the fish-headed Taoist priest recognized him for a few times, his shock turned into great joy, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Haha! It's the White Messenger!"
"White Messenger, save me!" The fish-headed Taoist priest's voice was full of the hope of escaping from death and turning the corner.
Xu Dao secretly thought something was wrong:
"No, I really got caught in an ambush. The person who ambushed me has good cultivation, superb concealment skills, and sounds like he has a high status!"
He quickly gathered his energy, circulated his magic power throughout his body, and communicated with the Foundation-Building Tooth Generals in the inner world. He no longer took the initiative to attack, but was prepared to leave at any time.
